THE BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mole Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE BIRCHES sales from February 2017 and December 2020 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the February 2017 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might THE BIRCHES be worth now?

THE BIRCHES might now be worth an estimated £961,572.

This is based on house price inflation of 9.3%, between December 2020 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the Mole Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 9.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BIRCHES of £880,000 on 18th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £880,000 to £961,572 over the five years and nine months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BIRCHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mole Valley local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £880,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BIRCHES has not materially changed since December 2020.
